Multiple news outlets are reporting that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has been moved to a U.S. Military base due to credible threats to his life from Iran.
Leftists are probably cheering for this.
From FOX News:
BREAKING: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has moved to a military base after Iranian threats against his life reached “more than an advanced stage,” a senior administration official tells Fox News Digital.
The official says the threats prompted Bessent and his family to make the move.
The Treasury Department confirms his relocation and says he will “not be deterred by the Iranian regime’s threats” as he leads efforts to isolate Iran financially through sanctions and trade restrictions.

Townhall reports:
According to a memo from a senior intelligence official in the Trump administration, which was viewed by Reuters, Iran has dialed up its targeting of U.S. officials, and plots are in the “advanced stages.”
The New York Times notes that while it’s not clear how immediate the threats against Bessent were, Iran is capable of targeted attacks inside the United States.
Iran orchestrated the murder plot against President Donald Trump and other political figures in 2024, as well as the assassination attempt on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s son Yair in Florida last year, which prompted a hasty evacuation out of his Miami home.
As the man in charge of the Trump administration’s squeeze of the Iranian economy, known as Operation Economic Fury, Bessent has drawn the ire of Iranian leaders.
In a statement, the Treasury Department said Bessent will “not be deterred by the Iranian regime’s threats.”
Just amazing.
